Dopllebock ale. Because I'm not set up to lager. It has been two weeks in primary. OG 1.075. Tested at day 14. 1.045. Fermentation restarted after knocking down krausen while drawing a sample and it formed a new head. Should I let it ride another few days and retest? Or should I rack it into secondary and let it finish out? All this "Sitting on dead yeast" and "Off flavors" thing really freaks out us new guys.
Thanks

That is less than 50% attenuation. What was the recipe and how did you go about it.

Welcome! Your yeast sounds like it's taking it's time but since it never looks at a calendar, it doesn't know it. What temperature is your primary sitting at? It might be you need to move it to a slightly warmer area.

It's not a good idea to take an reading while you still have active fermentation (krausen) and it's sound like you still have plenty of that. Don't move your beer off the yeast until it's finished and at expected FG.

Your beer will be fine in the primary for many more weeks. Autolysis is NOT going to happen to your beer! Let your beer stay where it's at for a couple more weeks and take another reading. Honest, I wouldn't kid you, your beer will be fine (even better) for sitting on the yeast cake for a couple more weeks.
